Site update - streetdeckfan - 27 Dec 2021
So, has anyone figured out how to change back to the old forum theme yet?
This new one is bloody awful, even worse than the last one!
There used to be a setting to change back to the old, old theme, but that doesn't seem to be present anymore, unless I've been looking in the wrong place

i love the new look of the site, more clean and modern

(27 Dec 2021, 6:05 pm)KingSlayerRBLX wrote i love the new look of the site, more clean and modernThe most useful bit of the website, the recent posts box, seems to have been removed, replaced by a full page recent topics section which is functionally useless unless all you want to do is respond to new topics. And there's no longer a shortcut to the topic with the most recent post for each section.
Visually, it may look better, but functionally, it's shit

RE: Site update - 54APhotography - 27 Dec 2021
Thought I had opened this by mistake. What format is this!
RE: Site update - Keeiajs - 27 Dec 2021
Can we go back to the one that was on yesterday
RE: Site update - streetdeckfan - 28 Dec 2021
And somehow it's got worse!
RE: Site update - Rapidsnap - 28 Dec 2021
Please change it back to the old format, I'm struggling to find my way around with this new format. Everything was where it was, this is just a jumbled mess.
Also it seems the original main site has also disappeared.

I'm guessing that in the blind panic to revert back to the old theme something went wrong and we're now stuck with the default MyBB theme.
It also seems that the domain has been set to redirect directly to the forum rather than the main site, it's still there, you just have to access it directly
For example, https://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/ still takes you to the fleet list.
At least everything is still fine on the Tapatalk app, which I mostly use anyway!

This is terrible, please put it back to the way it was.
Thanks

RE: Site update - Keeiajs - 28 Dec 2021
Wonder if any of the moderators are going to mention when it will be going back to the old format. Or are they going to pretend this hasn't happened and just 'hoped' no one noticed till they could fix it.
Even just acknowledgment would be highly appreciated.

Why would we be reverting back? Or what do you feel needs fixing?
The comments in the thread are obviously there to be seen, but it's not the first time the look of the site and forum has been redesigned.

Well first of all it feels like a forum from the 1990's, I mean look. The old formate was nicer, cleaner, easier to naviagate, the only thing missing was the ablity to upload things.

Where’s the photos and fleet list section? Bygone era? Feels like it’s not the right template for a transport forum, you’ve got a calander but no option to see the number of pages (requires a double click) on a thread. I’m of the impression that many people prefer the old version...
RE: Site update - Andreos1 - 29 Dec 2021
I did find a work around (in the CP), which took me back to the layout we saw until yesterday.
It seems to have been removed unfortunately.

To be honest, as long as we don't go back to the layout that appeared on the 27th, I'd probably be fine with it staying like this. Maybe with the actual NEB logo rather than the default MyBB logo, as that obviously looks a bit dodgy.

I'm missing an option to select unread messages. I end up at the start of any thread I tap on.

Click on the little arrow which appears next to the title. It will take you to the new posts.

There's two options highlighted I've highlighted. Clicking either should do as on the tin.

Try Posts > View Unread Posts from the menu.

No longer an arrow for me.

Will check those out, ta. I'm on my phone so the layout isn't quite the same. The last post one isn't going to be much use in a thread that's grown by 30 replies or so since I last saw it, mind.
